David Eubank, a 1983 graduate of Texas A&M University and former member of the Corp of Cadets, returned to College Station last week to speak to students about his work with Free Burma Rangers. Eubank founded the humanitarian service movement after serving ten years in the U.S. Army and after attending seminary. The goal of the organization is to provide aid and medical care to oppressed people of all races and religions in the war zones of Burma, Iraq, Syria, Kurdistan and Sudan.

While on an annual trip stateside, Eubank spoke with Chancellor John Sharp about his work and about a viral video of Eubank braving ISIS snipers to save a terrified toddler who hid under the hijab of her dead mother and among several other corpses.

“If there was ever a person that ever graduated from this university that represents the core values of what A&M is about, this is the guy,” Chancellor Sharp said.
